Answer:

From the image we have,


(11x-6)^(\circ) and
(13y-14)^(\circ) are linear pairs.

Linear Pair Theorem: If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

therefore, by above theorem we have,


11x-6+13y-14=180^(\circ)

simplify:


11x+13y=200^(\circ)

Since, we can seen from the image we have,
15x-8=90^(\circ)


15x=98^(\circ)

therefore,
x=6.534^(\circ)

Now, putting the value of x in equation
11x+13y=200^(\circ) to find for y:


11\cdot 6.534+13y=200^(\circ)


71.8667+13y=200^(\circ)


13y=200-71.867=128.134^(\circ)

Therefore the values of
x=6.534^(\circ) and
y=128.134^(\circ)
